[Blurb]
In her previous life, when Xue Zhao came to ask for Chun Tao's hand in marriage, her aunt thought a hunter had no prospects and married Chun Tao off to him.
Chun Tao had been proud and ambitious since childhood, and hated having to make do with other people's leftovers. Marrying a man her cousin hadn't wanted had always stuck in her craw.
After they married, she couldn't stand Xue Zhao. She hated how he was always so grim, never cheerful. She hated how he came home covered in the smell of blood after hunting. She hated how his strong, bulky frame took up so much room and kept crowding her in bed. And she hated how, even though he had someone else in his heart, he still wouldn't leave her alone in bed.
The man she liked was Du, the scholar in town, gentle as moonlight and full of learning.
Later, after Scholar Du passed the imperial examinations, he planned to take her to the capital. Chun Tao seized the chance to ask Xue Zhao for a separation. At first, Xue Zhao was furious, but in the end he only clenched his fists, stayed silent for a long while, and then nodded.
But life in the capital still didn't go as she hoped. In the end, she died far from home.
Reborn in the year she had just married Xue Zhao, Chun Tao stood beneath the eaves and watched the strong man laboring in the summer heat, sweat pouring down his face. Just because she'd once said she disliked seeing him bare-chested, he had never taken off his damp, heavy homespun shirt.
In this life, she decided to treat Xue Zhao a little more kindly.
Theme: Love someone who is already a good person just as he is.
